I *WAtfT TO pbZf THIS 




want to tell you something about BOOKS in almost 
every letter I write to you, because I want you to like 
Books. I will tell you about GOOD BOOKS because they make 
GOOD FRIENDS. — I hope you do not knock a little Book 
friend about any more than you would knock a little Boy 
friend about; it does not hurt the Book in the same way 
but it hurts just the same. I will tell you who makes the 
Books, who writes them and what they cost, so ANYBODY will 
know where to get them. And I will try to tell about such 
Books as will be good for you and make you want more Books. 
You must not let anyone say that I get some wages from the 
Gentlemen who make the Books, just because I talk about 
them, because I do not, — I couldn’t talk the way I want 
to if I did get some wages. When I take some salary from 
the Gentlemen I will let you know first of all, then I’ll 
find some way to "divvy up"*, — that’s fair, isn’t it?

is made by F. A, Stokes Co., New York. It costs in stores 
$1.25, by mail $1.49. The GOOPS are just GOOPS and Mr. Bur¬ 
gess was very smart when he made them up. The BLUE GOOPS 
are bad goops ; the RED GOOPS are good goons. Children can 
3ee the difference and be good and try not to be bad. Mr. 
Burgess made lots of other GOOPS. YOU SHOULD HAVE SOKE 
GOOP BOOKS. § ^

s long as yon are willing, I want to say something about BOOKS 
in my letters to you, because Books are very good Friends, and 
help us a lot, and are always to be found where we leave them, 
sides', I thought I might direct you a little how to get good 
Books, because the publishers send me many different ones for me to 
read and tell you about. This part of my letters I hone you will read, 
but don’t unless you feel just like it. 0, I want to say that I am 
entirely free to say what I ought to about your Books, because I do

Published by Chas. Scribner’s Sons. New York. $3.00. I 
wish I had room to write pages and pages about this 
Book, but I haven*t, so just take my word for it. YOUR 
BOYS* LIBRARY is not started till you have it. Mr. Pyle 
,gave a splendid gift to all Boys for all time when he 
made this Book, and if you knew Mr. Pyle, you would see 
right away why he could make it. He loves Boys, and 
his heart is the heart of a Boy. J5et it. A BJC BOOK, 

"in every way.-

by Wallace Rice. Duffield & Co., New York, $2.60 net. ("Net 
means "No", when you ask the Book Dealer to sell it to you

too.) This is a fine Book for you Boys, — a big book, 310 
pages, and it has 49 colored pictures of the animals. The 
Book tells,Lin a very plain way,, and in a very correct way, 
all about the wild animals. | You can turn over the pages and 
read and read, and you wilL be interested all the time. Bv- 
ery Boy should know about the animals he sees and reads about 
knowledge makes our hearts kinder and our heads see right. 

• LABOULAYS’S FAIRY TALES. Published __ 

Dutton & Co.. New York, $2.50. You like Fairy Tales 
I know. * Well, these are good ones, strange and wonder* 

}tuli and they are told in a new fairy-tale way, __ 

the same way-Grinin or Anderson tells stories; but you 
go sailing off into Wonderland as if a White Eagle had 
you on its back, (and you aren’t scared a bit). The pic¬ 
tures in the Book are colored and very well drawn, which, 
is a good point about pictures, for so many pictures 
make you dizzy, they are_ so_badl^made ♦

f $ f $ $ 1 like to road books, and I like 'Somebody to read good 
books to me. When I write to you, I am going to tell you in every 
letter about SOME GOOD BOOKS for little boys and girls. I am going 
to read them first , and if I think the Books will be Good Friends I 
will tell you where to get them and what they cost, so it will be 
easy to get them, when Mother or Somebody else who is kind, wants to 
give you a 300K. Then they will know. (I write this on my ALPHABET 
PIANO because it is easier to read than my writing, and takes up less 
room.) A BOOK IS A GOOD FRIEND SO DON’T BANG IT ON THE FLOOR OR*DIR¬ 
TY IT UP, OR TEAR IT. — THAT HURTS. The gentlemen who make these 
books do not give me anything for writing about them. You believe 
me, don’t you?

There is a bending tree. 

The rock is mine, the'cave - is mine. 

The tree belongs to me. 

There is a shore, a sandy shore, 

There is an ocean sea, 

The shore is mine, the sand is mine» 

It all belongs to me. 

The rock, the cave* the bending tree, 
The sand and ocean sea,—

I love the MOON in the deep, deep sky. 

And the stars that twinkle and wink. 

I love the CLOUD as it passes by, 

As black as a bottle of ink. 

I love the song of the midnight BREEZE, 

And I love every drop of DEW. 

I love to chat with the grave old TREES.

HERE are 




... many, many Books in the world, and more are be- 

ing mate evoiy day. Bootes come next to living, walking, 
^alteing. Friends. Some Friends come to stay in our hearts, 
.^ome just take a loote around and then walk: away; so Bootes, 
like Friends, have different manners. I should like your 
he a ^ a - n ^ heart to have a corner Book Shelf, where GOOD BOOK 
FRIENDS can stay as long as you love them, — so in my let¬ 
ters I am going to tell you about Good Bootes I read. I will be fair 
to all the Bootes I read, but I will not tell you a Book is a good in- 
uence if I do not think it is. I may make some mistakes, but- I will 
make as few as possible. The Gentlemen who make the Books 1 tell you 
about do not give me any salary or presents for telling you what to 
get, so I can say just what I like and they will not get*cross, be¬ 
cause they have no right to. They wouldn’t got cross any way, be¬ 
cause they try to give Children the right Books, but sometimes in the 
hurry and scurry of things a Book slips in that ought to be bundled 

out. I^write^about BOOKS on my TYFEWRIT3R because it makes plainer 

words. — S^- HERE ARE A FEW 6001) 'Baoicfl a. . e 

THE LITTLE LAKE PRINCE, by Miss Mulock, with il- 
lustrations made by Hope Dunlap, The book is published by 
Rand, McNally Co,, Chicago, and costs $1*25. I have not 
seen a lovelier edition of this book. The pictures are near¬ 
ly all beautifully colored, and you want to look at them o- 

llBMiJ ver an<i over a S ain * As for the story , every child should 

read it because it is one that you must know, and ought to 

have among your best Book Friends, ffir;- ^ 



ooooQooa 




C0 CtfW THS CHILDREN* S LONGFELLOW. Houghton, Mifflin Co,, 
Boston. It costs $3,00. You know, Longfellow is often 
called ’’The Children’s Poet”, and this is true. Something 
about the way the poetry runs along makes the child listen 
and love to listen. This Book is beautifully made , too, with 
pictures all colored and exactly right for the verses. There 
are eighty of Longfellow’s poems in this book, printed be¬ 
cause they are the best for Children, ^ JST\ 

*9&c THE ARABIA!] NIGHTS. Made by the Dodge Publishing 
Co., New York . It CQ3ts #1,50. This is a very carefully 
arranged edition of those wonderful stories, and i3 good 
for Boys and Girls to have, because there are no parts of 
the stories un-good for Children. The Book is full of well- 
drawn pictures that help tell the stories. You should get 
it.- 


















































& AISID HERE ARE TJf%££ ANOR.E.© 

THE LISTENING CHILD. Verses collected by Lucy W. 
Tnacher. Published by Macmillan Co., New York, $1*50. This 
is not a new book, but a very fine one because it is a beau¬ 
tiful collection of the best verses for CHILDREN. Every 
verse has beon listened to by some child, for Mrs. Thacher 
read all tho verses to children before they were made into 
book. It la a truly good book to havo, for it helps, amuses 






and teaches you.

THE QUEEN’S MUSEUM. By Frank R. Stockton. Pub¬ 
lished by Scribner’s Son3> New York. The price is $2.50. 
Phis is a very beautiful book. The pictures are like truly 
lovely paintings, — the kind of pictures that make you want 
to have good pictures in the rest of your books. They are 
Vfonder Tales and Fairy Stories, told in the very interesting 
way that Mr. Stockton always tells stories.^ It is a book 
that you will always want to keep.

A WONDER BOOK, by Hawthorne, with pictures by Wal¬ 
ter Crane. The book is made by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Bos¬ 
ton, price $3.00. The Stories are made from the beautiful 
old Greek legends, so you learn and enjoy at the same time. 

The pictures are in color and drawn as only Walter Crane can 
draw. Many artists have tried to copy him, but none of them 
could make pictures in the same simple, truthful.way as Mr. 
Crane. For tho sake of Hawthorne, Walter Crane, an d yourself, 
you should have this book. 



I want you to know that the 
Books I tell about may not ai¬

ljust selecting ^those books that 
Jyou may like now, or will like 
jWhon you are a ’little older, or 
.should havo liked when you were 
lyounger.

NOW HERS, dear Boy, I must use my Tick-tack writing-machine, 
because I am afraid that I can’t get all your letter on my paper if I | 
keep on WHITING it with my big fingers, so I will do some of your lett^ 
this way ,-then I can tell you all that happened. (You will not mind, 
will you? f Cause my fingers make the machine go.) - Well- 

_ ___ $ 

So Everybody hastened away to THAP 
THE KING AND HIS BRAVE, GRAVE HUNT¬ 
ERS, and HIPPO went to a nice wet 
place where the HUD was good and 
sticky . HIPPO made believe that he 
was fast asleep in the HUD. He was 
standing up, though. In the mean¬ 
time, the KING and his Hunters trod 
the wild woods, dusting everything, 

—even the trees,— and poking ev¬ 
erything, —even each other,—when 
SUD-DEN-LY they heard HOWLS and 
GROWLS and YOWLS and SQUAWKS and 
SHRIEKS all around them! 0, 0, such 
a fuss in that wild wood! The KING 
and the Hunters hud-dled into a tight 
bunoh, close together, — they were f 
so surprised and astonished and WON-' 

DERIZED. Step by step the huddled- 
up Hunters backed to the wet MUDDY 
plaoe where HIPPO was standing. 

Then they all saw HIPPO, and he saw 
them through a little place in the 
side of his eye......The KING shout¬ 
ed, "WE are BRAVE, — WE WILL HUNT". 

So he crept very carefully up to Mr. 

HIPPO and gravely dusted off his 
NOSE, then, quick as a flash, he 
hurried ’round to HIPPO’S dtumpy 


tail,and gave it a grave but GEN¬ 
TLE POKE • All the other Hunters 
followed very near. The KING was 
brave;they made Pictures of the 
KING because he was so very nice 
and brave...But dear Boy,the Hunt¬ 
ers little knew that they were in 
a TRAP that very INSTANT MINUTE* 
They were .for the MUD there was 
ver y sticky ,,just like some car¬ 
amels in Summer time—Dear, r — 

0> Dear* they could n*t budge—* 
Then- 









































0, then, the Animals ALL cane down 
on them from* everywhere and all a- 
round. The Animal3 did not mind th« 
MUD, and as for PIG, he was ’most 
crazy with JOY. Mr. HIPPO winked 
and smiled, and then yawned a BIG, 
wide, DEEP yawn. So what could the| 
Hunters do? They just threw down 
their DUSTERS in the MUD and surren : 
dered on the spot. The Hunters all 
shouted, "We surrender — we surren¬ 
der — yes, we DO — Honest Injun — 
KING*S X." The Animals said, "Ha! 
Ha! Ho! Ho!" and picked up the DUST* 
BRS and TICKLE-STICKS. Then such a 
"dusting and tickling" did those An¬ 
imals give the King and all the oth j 
9 r Hunters! PIG dusted the King’s 


TH£ ffirje- JU/ST/riG-. 


the Animals shall be dusted no 
more." That was GOOD. The 
Hunters gave their Dusters to 
their Lady Relatives and they 
gave their' Tickle-sticks to 
the rtoyal Cook,* to stir Roy- 
al Puddings with. That was 
GOOD, too. So everybody was 
happy, and staved so. 

Aren’t you glad, dear 
Boy? I_ am; -for Animals are 
dig-ni-fied and kind, and 
do not like to be dusted or 
more than’ 


NOSE all over, top and hot* 

ROOSTER didn’t bother about a DUSTEJ 
—ho just flopped himself all over 
everybody and dusted them well with¬ 
out being too par- tickle- uar. At 
last PIG 3 houted, "Stop! that’s e- 
nough. WE will be merciful". And 
so he had his picture taken arm in 
arm with the King, to show how mer¬ 
ciful he could be. PIG was very 
proud again. King was not proud, 
but he was very GOOD and gentle and 
grave. So all the Hunters marched 
HOME in a row. They made a long 
Pro-cos-sion# All the CHUBBIBS at 
home just shouted with joy and 
pride, and Queen PINKIE waved her 
hand-ker-chief and said, "0, MY 
h rave, grave KING!" 

That night the King gave a par-1 
ty, and all the Animals and CHUBBIESj 
were invited. They went Before 
the feast was over, the King arose 
and said," WE will HUNT no more —

If SOMEBODY ever wants to give you a wonderful present of 
BOOKS, I hope they will give you ten volumes called "THE CHILDREN'S 
HOUR"* They are made by Houghton Mifflin & Co., Boston* They cost a 
lot of money, ($17.50), — but look at all the books you get. These 
books have all the very best stories and verses that have been done 
for children. The people that put the verses and stories into these 
books knew the child heart , so they got the very best things for child-’ 
ren in these beautiful ^>ooks. PICTURES? Yes, yes, hundreds and hun¬ 
dreds, and many of them beautifully painted for you. If you get these 
books, you have a LIBRARY almost, — and so the set does not cost so 
much after all. ... I have read "The Children’s Hour" books, and J 
know^hat they are GOOD. 

* TEE LAND OF NOD is a book little Boys will love to look at 

and read. It is full of fine pictures, (lots of them colored, too). 

I read the book and while I was reading, I thought I was in the mid¬ 
dle of a nice, funny, exciting DREAM. Then I WOKE UP. But I went 
into the book again and dreamed some more, — such fun. The book 
costs $1.50. Mr. J. Walter McSpadden wrote it, and it is made by 
T. Y. Crowell & Co., New York. 

Dear Boy, 0, do got a dandy book called HAPPY CHAPS. Miss 
Wells wrote all the rhymes. (I tell you, she's smart.) Mr. Cady drew 
all the "Happy Chap" pictures.' (He’s smart, too. I laugh and I giggle^? i 
I kick up and wiggle whe^ I read and look. ) The Century Co., New York, ft A, 


makes^the book, and it costs $1.50. (HUNDREDS OF PICTURES.) 

* CJ^^And ;hen — don’t forget to hunt for a book called A BOOK OF 
CHEERFUL CATS (and other animals). It is made by The Century Co.. New 
York, and costs $1.00. This book is good for Girls, but you will like 
it Just the same. J. G. Francis made the pictures and the verses. 

How anybody could keen on being so FUNNY, don't see.

9 fishing is EASY If you go at i 
it in the right way. Very few 
DOGS ever try, — they’d rather 
hunt and SNOOP,— hut you see I 
like a little variety... I wait 

for a quiet day when no wind blows 
and- tho sun is warm and pleasant. 1 trot along the shore of our beau-* 
tiful lake (Lake Kesa, down in Maine.) I break now and then into the 
brush and tangle, and chase a Chipmunk or King Fisher; then back &s?fc 
near to the water’s edge as I can go, till I come to a sandy beach ' 

*, , , mn^ in the sun. I go somewhere below 

that beach and slip very carefully into the water and swim up towards 
the little beach. When my toes touch the bottom as the place gets *§£> 
shallower, 1 sneak up as sly as sly until the water is only up to nw*T 
shoulder Joints. I then LOOK all around and I am sure to see bands of 
tiny fish lazily sunning themselves where the water is only a few inche: 
deep. (Their TAILS arettowards ME, — they TAG their TAILS and don't 
SEE ME.) Then I TELL YOU, I go at things very carefully. I lift my 
feet out of the water without dropping a drop, and put them back again 

without making even a little ripple. WOOF! but it's exciting' So 1 

sneak and sneak up close to the little WIGGLERS. My tail keeps thrash- 

&U that Rubber is tellmq vou Is true,I (lave watch¬ 
ed ftiin go through all that many times, only he 
would al w ay s s to/i f i s ft in 9 i£ fi e cau ght me

. . You Ju3t have to keep your TAIL going ,^ 
g more fun. . .Then—then, when 1 am very 


ing to and fro like a FAN. 

for it seems to make fi9hing more fun. . .Then—then, when l am very 
near the whole band of fish, I make a wild DASH right through the lot. of 
them, dragging my feet down IN the water. Away the fish swim, scared to 
death. Lots get away, of course, but many swim up Into the very shallow 
places, where they can’t swim back. Then I prance among the wiggling 
lot of ’em, and carry on something fearful 
to see. l got excited and bark and thrash 
my tail still more. 1 don't do much dam¬ 
age to the little Fish, and I do not eat 


them. 1 suppose it's Just the GAME of 44 * 
FISHIN G that makes it such fun. 







Dogs have lots to DO all day. 
remember how I got acquainted with John 

Martin.One day I was hunting, mile 3 

away from my hou3e. I was tired and a |g* 
thorn was in my front paw. 1 wished thau^ 

I had not gone so far from my house, for 
'it hurt to run. 1 tried to chew out the old 
thorn, but it was between the cushions of 
the paw, so 1 could not get my teeth at it. 

I made straight for an open place that was near by. I pushed through 
the brush, and there, — under a tree, — was a MAN. He was not asleep^ 
but he didn't seem to hear anything. His head was on a book and his W 
knees were 6tioklng up in the air... "Woof," thought 1, "I'll give him 
a soare, to see If he’s any good." bo I made straight for him, as if 
I'd chew him to tatters. (Of course i was playing.) What do you think 
He never budged , — except to turn his head a little, and he said "Hel¬ 
lo, Pup!” Of course I couldn’t get mad at that, so 1 took a smell of 
his hand, then 1 licked it, and the man pinched my nose, which proved 
that he respected my nose. So 1 sat down with the MAN, and by and \>j d

Man watched me and then dragged me between his knees and very carefully 

drew out that thorn.0, V7U0F! Row I did scamper about and Jump all 

over that Man. That’s how I said, "Thank you”. After that we sat a- 
round for a while and chatted. I SNOOPED a little, to show that I was 
a GOOD WATCHFUL DOG, and the Man, (It was John Martin) told me lots of 
things and asked me questions about MS. I told him lots of things back, 
because he had a right to know. That day was years ago, and John and I 
have been GOOD FRIBHDS ever since. » & » » » « .

A When I got to the end of that 
page you have just read, I thought that I would 
stop this letter, because I’m getting a little 
tired, and I’m afraid that you are too. But 
John Martin wants me to tell how I "HOOK RID2S* 

ou see, I take very long trips 
up our Lake, and before I know it, I have tra¬ 
veled miles and miles from home, and I find that 
I’m tired , so it is all right for me to try to 
get a lift back. If you should happen to be on 
shore and your Canoe was dragged up on the beach, 

I’d peek through the brush to v see if you came 
from my part of the Lake,^ (I’d know, beoeuse I I 

keep track of all the Boys.) Then I’d oome out of the brush and sit 
around, just making myself pleasant, — but not too pleasant. You 
might pet me and throw sticks into the wator, which I would "fetch"^* 
for you» By and by you’d begin to pick up things to start home. When 
you got into your oanoe, I’d wag my tail very politely and smile with 
xry eyes, and you’d be jpretty sure to ask if I did not want a ride home 
in your oanoe. * I have done that lots of times . It saves a heap of 
walking and you’d laugh if you saw me sneaking away those times that l 
came on a party so big that there would be no room for me in the Canoe 

I tell you I’m a good oounter of heads 
when I’m tired4* And so I get paddled com¬ 
fortably down the Lake, and when the time 
comes, I Jump out at my own beach and WAG 
a fine "Thank you” to you for giving me 

the LlgP. C *—-— ^ - 

4$ ^ Once I had an awful scrap with 
John Martin’d Bull Dog. His name is "Bot¬ 
tles”. I Just can’t endure that dog. He 
hasn’t any nose at all, and as for his TAIJ 
he might as well be without one, — it’s so CROOKED and queer. That 
row was in John’s Canoe. Bottles started the trouble by grabbing me 
under the collar. I grabbed back, John yelling all the time, and try¬ 
ing to keep us from upsetting. I tell you, Boy, a dog-fight in a Canoe 
is not a thing to be laughed at. Over we went. Dogs, Man, Paddles, and 
everything. I can swim, but Bottles can’t, but it didn’t make any dif¬ 
ference to him for he hung on to me till I got ashore. John followed 


It«U you,Boy, that fight Kept m_e busy,but we 
were near the shore. u>hen we dy.rn.ped over , so

CRUELTY TO THE DUMB. A PRAYER. 


ill 


I struck my dog today. He cowered very low. 

And, looking up, he seemd to say, "How could you treat me so? 1 
And then, 0 God, I struck again, my ugly wrath to spend. 

I gave a speechless creature pain, I hurt a Faithful Friend. 
0, God, it was a wicked burst of brutal cruelty 
To strike an animal whose first and la3t thought was of me. 

It was a FRIEND that has no speech to tell of need or pain. 

0 Uod. forgive the siji and teach me no t to sin again . 

AMEN

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 

of a Good DoCt «a. 

FIRST. Be kind to all, giving love to all but 
your 'BEST love to only One. Give full love seldom, for 
much hard loving makes you foolish and puts falsehood into 
your Heart. 

SECOND. Greet all Friends with the eye-light of 
gentleness, and Smiles, and a "Greeting Wag", if you like to 
and.so make the day sunny-warm in your Heart. 

THIRD. Don’t go about with a STIFF TAIL of Suspi¬ 
cion, or with your Back Bristles sticking up, for you may 
get "Tumbled over" by a better Dog than you are. 

FOURTH. Make Friends , for the more you nave, the 
greater will be your luck, the fatter your bones and the 
Jollier your days. But never, never SLOBBER or cringe in 
the making of them. A wet mouth and a foolish "Twist" make 
no Friends worth the getting. 

FIFTH. When in Strange Countries, be ever a lert . 
using all your Wisdom in all you DO. But keep out of Dark 
Holes where CATS often lurk, or other nose-scratching THINGS. 
CJh T--k3 SIXTH. Go about your Business "with Modesty and 
Dignity, but with your Tail erect and a certain Purpose of 
DOING.IT ALL, honestly and well. 

SEVENTH. Keep your nose out of the track of a 
ROW. Never "sniff" to find a FIGHT, but pass around the 
place. Nothing is gained in a hunted-up Row. 

EIGHTH. Fight but seldom in all a life-time, out 
when you d£, let it be in self-defense or for the cause of 
Justice. FIGHT HARD, guarding well your front legs, your 
throat, and your HONOR. 

.if* NINTH. Eat enough to keep you well, and get some 
extra good things if you can, but don’t be a PIG POG^ for-a 
crowded stomach makes an empty head. 

TENTH. Seize all the JOY you can, that robs no 
other. Sleep in peace. Play in Jolly earnest. WAGr well. 


A' 


■ >~4 


and mean it, and, finally, be GLAD that YOU ARE LIVING in 
this big GOOD FAT WORLD. _ - - - -—^

MYBO OKHOUSE 


^Book is just a cozy House; 

Nice Words and Letters live inside. 
And when 1 want to visit them, 

I open both the covers wide. 

I look right in, and there I find 
A lot of Friends I want to see, 

And every thing and every one 
_ Is very nice and kind to me. 

— 




Each page is like a big, white room. 

And there are Letters all around. 

And when I call them by their names 

Each name has quite a different sound. 
And when I say their names just right 
They always spell a word for me. 

So I just think I ought to know 
The Alphabet, from A to Z.

A CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES, by that good, kind, patient Hr. 
Stevenson. Made by Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago, .75 cents. In my last 
month’s letters to some of you children, I wrote about another kind of 
the same Book, but I want you all to know about lots of different print¬ 
ings of it, because every child just ought to know it almost by heart. 

It will make your heart BIG and very happy. This Book has nice colored 
pictures, and is a good Book, and does not cost much. (Yes, I like it.)

RED BOOK and all its pretty colored pictures. You will want €o Ht 
FUZZY, too , ar^ BUMBLE BEE. (He would never sting you .

_ ^|I.DUTCH DITTIES FOR CHILDREN. This is a SONG BOOK. 

are dear and merry and sweet. The MUSIC is there, and many of the songs 
are the kind that you will hum when you play, and some of them are what 
Big People call "real music". It is a book that you will always love. 

It is large and has pretty pictures all painted in BLUE. (Liko an old. 
blue platter.) You can get the book from Mr. G. Schirmer, Now Y or) 
costs $1.25, net. (Ne t means "nb less". 




iiS LAST OF ALL I want to tell you about a VERY VERY good SET of 
Books for Children. The set has ten volumes, and they are full of the 
best pictures, — some painted and lots in plain black ink. Every sto¬ 
ry that Children should read is in these books, — the very best, the 
sweetest and most helpful, that Wise Men and Women have gathered from 
EVERYWHERE, —the kind of stories that help make little Girls and Boys 
grow up to be wise, kind, and strong Men and Women. Of course the ten 
hooks cost more than ONE book, but then, you get EVERYTHING that is 
good for you to read out of many more than ten other hooka, so you have 
a LIBRARY almost. I have read tho hooks all through and I can’t find 
anything that I do not think is right for you to read. The ten books 
are called "THE CHILDRENS* HOUR” and they are made by Houghton Mifflin 
Co., Boston . They C03t $17.50, for the ten hooks, but you don’t have 
to pay all that money at one time. You can pay more for the books if 
you want prettier and prettier covers on them. When little Boys and v 
Girls come to see me, I “Just give them a ohair and let them have a Good 
Time reading the books and looking at the pictures. They are made so 
that children from five years to sixteen years will find them interest-

or growing there, whatever happens. It is only the glossy, silken cov¬ 
er that is sometimes torn or broken. Then comes the work of the WOO 
BIRDS. You may have gone out-doors in the early morning when the dew 
was still shining in the grass and on sagging cobwebs, then you must 
have seen a little HAMMOCK of gossamer hanging between two gray stones, 
with a big piece gone out of the middle . Well, those WOO BIRDS nipped 





that piece away during the night when you were asleep, (they did it ve¬

knowing that it would cotoe in handy for broken wings some day 

NEXT. Meri speaks of the WHIRLING WHIPPLE. That Is a place

round are round stones and jagged boulders and sticks and old fallen 
trees and mossy spots hidden in the shade. It is here that Fairies 
play a game that is a little like M Snap-the-whip", only the Fairies FLY 
in a long row, and land on the beach with a BUZZ and a shout. The Fai- 

(Kiy who gets her feet wet must stand tip-toes on an old* 
^%*c£iog or mossy stone, bussing her wings all the time till 
another Fairy gets wet feet. When all but ONE get 




a wetting, (the BUZZ going on all the 
time), all the Fairies pounce on that 
OHE and give her wet feet • They think 
that a groat game, and the last wet one \ 
is maae Queen for that day. 

Dearie, I am afraid I must stop this Fairy 
letter, and 0, I don’t want to stop, for there are so many 
things I want to tell you, — things that Meri has told me,' 
and things that I have found out. 0, 0, if you would only 
let me write you a BOOK, called "The Secrets of Fairyland**,. 
Why, do you know that there are BOY FAIRIES? Do you know 
how color like a rainbow grows and stays on a Fairy’s wings? 1 

I Do you know that Fairies follow lit- 
ftle girls when they go through "cer¬ 
tain kinds of woods**, and show them 
things and places that they never would 
have seen if Fairies had not been 
tagging on after them? And many 
and many a time Fairies keep lit 
tie girls from stumbling or 
Into "Hazard Places". And, 
did you ever feel your hair

A COZY LIOU. Isn’t that a nice name 
for a book? The Lion was cozy and kind and 
full of fun like a nice big cat. He played 
with Fairies, and one Fairy BOXED HIS SAB, and 
he never got mad at all and he never scratched 
once. 0, It is a fine book with colored pic¬ 
tures, and It was written by a lady (Mrs. Burn¬ 
ett) who knows all about LIONS and FAIRIES. The 
book costs 60 cents. The Century Company, New 
York , makes it. ^ mf O 

^AND HERE IS ANOTHER- && 

PETSR raSPKIH III TOEDEELAMD, by Ida M. 
Huntington. Full of pictures, made by Mary I. 
Hunt. The book costs $1.25, and the gentlemen 
who make it are Rand McNally & Co. (They live in 
Chicago. ) 1 tell you I had fun when I read it. 
It’s all about a Little Boy, (Little Girls too). 
0, 3uch wonderful JACK 0’LANTERNS, and fairies, 
and rabbits, and everything Children like to 
hear about. The book is funny, but it is INTER¬ 
ESTING, too. I’m glad I found PETER PUMPKIN; 
he’s in KY library now. © /Tilers 


THE MUFFIN SHOP is a big, beautiful, 
HAPPY book. It is all nice Poetry, lovely col¬ 
ored Pictures, and there is a MUSIC SONG at -the 
end of the book, called THE MUFFIN SONG, and it 
sings all about a nice Muffin Man. You will 
like the book, I know . Mr. Rand and Mr. McNal¬ 
ly , of Chicago make it, and it costs $1.50. 
Louise a Garnett wrote it all.

I mast explain a few things now and then that Woggie speaks of 


It seems to me that he writes 

and that is not right , hut there is some reason in his feeling "hurt". 
You see, very few Penguin EGGS are laid by the Hen Penguins, so they 
are veiy proud when one is laid. Everybody is proud and wants to have 
a chance to SIT- OH IT, even the Gentlemen Penguins, because they think 
they know as much about HATCHIHG out little baby Penguins as the Mo¬ 
ther Penguins do. So there is a great time in Penguin-Land when an 
EGG is to be hatched out. CV <©, A *v» <*, art- «<?*,

y A ' SAT, BOYI I nay bo a PBg-guln. but I 

I don’t think much of PENS, l$y 
wings are tired writing with a PEN, so 1*11 write some 
of my letter to you on John Martin’s Tick-tack Type¬ 
writer* * * I’ve borrowed Uartln*s sx^ectacles so I 
'can write CAREFULLY 


Row we’ll get back to my Family. I want 
you to put yourself in my place , and imagine a 
family of HEAVY Penguins all puffed up with pride 
and JOY over one SHALL baby Penguin. Just try to 
see my Family, all weighing over SIXTY pounds , and all of ’em 
and wobbly. • • Just LOOK at them all making for me at one t 
(I oan tell you it’s EX-citing.*) Do you wonder that I am a ! 
afraid of my family, or that I act a little SHY when they want to 
"coddle" me? 

Sometimes I f m nice and warm on top of Dad’s feet, with 

his beautiful, soft, lomon-colored front-part 
tucked down over me* Dad is very proud, (because 
he doesn’t get a chance at me often). Dad is very 
PROUD, but he tries not to show it* He makes be¬ 
lieve that he’s just "dead tired" and*sleepy. 

Along comes Aunt Puffy and some friends, 
from a Mudpuddle Party* I get back on Dad’s feet 
far as possible. Father iCoks sleepier, but I

iQl&U LOlt U& 

Ve^few eggs get s a £ oT^Phatehe out because fckey are more^ 
ken than not, — there is such a scrabbling time when every- w 
body wants to SIT on the egg at once* As Woggie said, the Penguin fam¬ 
ily are all very HEAVY and not par-tic-u-lar-ly graceful or gentle with 
their feet. Just think of it! Out of every hundred eggs that are laid, 
only about twenty-three ever get to be little chick penguins. All the 
Penguin family get after that poor egg, and they play "Foot Ball" with 


it. Is it a wonder that the eggs get broken? 







































can Just feel him bracing his feet good and tight 
under me, and I know that he is mighty watchful 
out of the side of his eye* Aunt PUFFY says some-] 
thing to her friends; they shake their heads in 
a WISE way* Aunt PUFFY comes waddling up to Dad 
and talks about the "poor fishing” these days 
Dad smiles a sleepy smile, but tries to look as 
pleasant as he can * Auntie asks where 
\ am, and says, "Boys should not be 
OUT in such damp weather”. Father 
says, "Very true, PUFFY.” And he fix¬ 
es his feet some more, while I tremble 
so that I almost slip off Father f s 
feet. I know that "butt-over” game is 
to begin. Then Father mentions some 
good food in a puddle near by, in hopei 
that the family will go eat, but NO, 
they are not hungry. Aunt PUFF says, 

”How nice, Mr. Googum. Let's gire some) 
to WOGGIB.” / With that, she gives Dad 
an AWFUL BUMP sidewise, (sort o 9 twisting herself as she does it). Dad 
tumbles over; all the friends Join in the bumping business. I squeal 
and HUH as fast as my poor stumpy legs will let me. WOW! WOB-BLE! Ev¬ 
erybody flounders after me. I get kicked, trodden, bumped, squashed, 
mussed, mauled, and rolled about..•• THEY ALL LOVE 115.•• .You can see 
how much they LOVE me by the way they get after me....They all want to 

CUDDLE me. (Excuse me froih CUD¬ 
DLES.) • ••• I make for. the nearest

WET and HARD in that HOLE, but, 0, 
it's better than being mussed and 
mauled and SAT ON by the WHOLE PEN¬ 
GUIN FAMILY. Lots of us Chicks die 
at times like this, rather than be 
CUDDLED and "brought up”. Do you wonder? There 9 s nothing like a good

'ieijciemen Penguins DO make his life miserable, thinking all the time 
that they are being VERY KIND. They mean all right, but they always 
go at Woggie in the wrong way, and it is a wonder to me that a Chicle 
Penguin ever grows up to be a big Emperor Penguin. I think that there 
must be Juet ONE thing that keeps him alive, and that is a lot of HOPS 
that some day he will be a big BIRD too, and then he will have a chance 
to p lay Foot Ba l l w ith eggs and little Penguins in his turn.

at the SAME TIME. It takes ROOM to cuddle. A HOLE is small. 

I suppose it is not RIGHT for me to talk this way about my 
family, because they mean all well enough; but meaning well doesn't 
make them any lighter when they tumble on top of me. for I'm little 
and they are BIO and PAT. 

I tell you. Boy. my family is a HANDSOME family, and Dad and 
Ha and Aunt PUPPY are the best-looking of the lot. (Aunt PUFP isn't as 
good-looking as Hot her. though.) Father weighs ninety pounds, (that's 
HEAVY). He is four feet tall, (that's TALL). Father's head la all 
black shiny feathers, like.a silk hat that YOUR GENTLEMEN wear. His 
back and wings are a nice blue color, that looks a little grey. All 
around his neck and bill the color is ORANGE. • • 0, I tell you. he is 
handsome. But. beat of all to make Father good-looking is his breast 
and the part of him 'way down to his FEET. All that is yellow like 
GOLD, and smooth and soft as a lady's satin dress. • « Yes. he's HAHD- 
SOHE. • • I don't look like that when I'm a child, for all YOUNG BIRDS 
are very plain. But Aunt PUFF aaye. 'Tie's a GOOD child". I'm much 
obliged to Aunt PUFF. She isn't as good-looking as some ef the Ladies 
down here, — I mean the ones that miss stepping on me. . • 

That is ALL. John Hart in says I must close. I will because 
he SAVED me from my family yesterday. GOODBYE. I'd like to meet you. 
They say that you boys up in yOur country play a game called "Foot 
Ball". I know all about it, so I think you and I would get along all 
right.

The EMPEROR PENGUINS are very handsome birds, and Woggie has 
reason to be a little boastful. When I first saw a band of them in 
this cold grey desert of ice, where everything was so silent and color- 
less, they made a very beautiful sight with their bright ooloring. Wo“ 
gUTtold you about that, and I drew some pictures to show you what the 
Penguins looked like, only I am sorry I can't paint the plotures for you

books called ANIMAL STORIES# published by The 
Century Co,, New York, There are sin volumes 
and they each cost 66 oents, net. These books 
are full of pictures, and the stories are so 
beautifully, simply, and Alreotly told that you 
are carried right along with them and seem to 
be right where it all happens. Sometimes you 
even step into the hearts and lives of the dimib 
creatures the stories tell about. As X said# 
there are six books, they are sailed: ABOUT 
ANIMALS; BEAR STORIES, (lots of adventure in 
this one#); CAT STORIES; STORIES OF BRAYS BOOS, 
(this is a fine book,); LION AND TIGER STORIES; 
PANTHER STORIES. Every boy would be happier 
and know more for having these books. a

Uy BOOK 1® full Of THOUGHTS to. think, 
ill printed there with nice black UK. 

And sometimes there are PICTURES, too. 

Of different kinds all scattered through*] 

time I see a printed THOUGHT 
I’m sure a little Girl just ought 
To THINK the THOUGHTS Book helps me see. 
And learn the THIHGS Book shows to me*| 


Whenever I oan, I want to tell you about 
some good books for you to know about* In some 
of ny letters I haven't room to tell muoh, but 
I do not think that I ought to leave out some 
little talk about books once in a while, be¬ 
cause, as I have said before, books are Good 
Friends* That is, some of them are friends, 
and I am only going to tell you about such as 
I think you ought to be acquainted with* Here 
are a few books I want you to know about. 


STORY OF NOAH’S ARK, told by 
Boyd'Smith* He made the pictures too* Hough¬ 
ton Mifflin Co*, of Boston, make the book and 
it costs $1*25, net* This is a big book. I 
have seen many beautiful books, because I am 
old and have had a chance to, but I have very 
seldom seen any that had such beautiful pic¬ 
tures with such lovely colors* The anim/Wls^are 
painted in oolors just as you would see them if 
they were near you, and the story is so simple 
that little boys and girls can't help under¬ 
standing it. 


Another nice little book is FATHER 
AND BABY PLAYS, by Emilia Poulsson. It is pub¬ 
lished by The Century Co *, New York , and costs 
#1*25. This book is full of dear little verses 
and songs and it tells how Father plays with 
little Baby; how they play games; how Father 
tells about rabbits and birds; and in one,part 
of the book it shows how to make shadows on the 
wall with your fingers. You can make an eagle 
and a polly and a goose, and some other things. 
The book is for very little boys and girls, but 
1 am sure you would like to have it*

I drew that line right there for fear you are getting 
tired of \;he HEART PART of my letter. So I write you the two 
nest pages, for fun, and to give you a little rest. You can do 
the puzzle and road the verses on the next two pages, and then 
you won*t mind reading what is left of my letter, which tells 
how the HEART GAMS IS PLAYED.

big white atar with its heart ashing 
•Peeps out ht me thru the tall, tall pine* 
It did not come last night at all 
To the open wiMo^ in our hall. 

T j 

j^Uf^Eisaid she tho’t It flew unseen 
Across the sky, like a Fairy queen. 

And then perhaps it dropped and fell 
All shining down,the old stone well. 

THIjJ morning when the Sun came thru 
And whispered, "Child, I f m after you", 

I ran as fast as the wind can blow 
Along a path where^ flowers grow. 

rAI^down our well, thru mossy dark, 

I never saw the shining spark. 

But only just a little ME 
That waved its hand so I might see. 


__ _S2ZCq^ 

Xwalked and walked to the cat-tail pool 
Where all the reeds are tall and cool, 
And there, beside the old row-boat, 

I found m y lovol^s^tar^ af loat. 

X am so glad it chose this place. 

Where I can softly touch its face; 

It makes the pool seem starry there. 

And - 0 - the sweetness in tho air! 


A good Friend of Children asked me to 
send those, verses to you.j thought you. 
Vvould like them . The lady who wcoteyoue 
verses is Bertha Newberry -CZt72.

Do you remember that in one of my J 
Letters, I said you might get a let¬ 
ter from Peter Pan? Well, J’vo been 
thinking that promise over* I wonder if 
it will be fair for me to write a Peter 
Pan letter, when Mr. Barrie found Peter. I 
don f t think it would. I could tell you a 
story about Peter, but I don’t think I ough 
to w rite you one, so I am going to ask Mr. Bar 
rie if I can. Perhaps he will let mo. Or, I 

wish he would write to you about Peter. Lot’s ask him. >4 In the 
mean time we will wait, and you imi3t toll mo who else you’d like to 
hear from. <J>1 cannot say much about BOOKS in this letter, but 
I must tell you about a Book of Plays for Children. It is one of the 
best play books I have read. (It is strange, but there are very few 
good plays written for children. ) You ought to have TEE HOUSE OF THE 
HEART and Other Play3 for Children, by Constance Mackay. It costs 
$1.10 (net) and is published by Henry Holt & Co., New York. A good 
play, you know, makes children LEARK, and SEE WITH THEIR HEARTS, the 
same as our Heart CAMS does. 7~WA T'S ALL FOF TO&AV mi©

I only •want to tell 
yon about two or three books in 
this letter, and they < are such nice 
books that I can’t help telling you 
about them. First there comes'THE 
HIAWATHA PRIMER, by Florence Hol¬ 
brook, who was a principal of a ve¬ 
ry fine big school. Mr. Longfellow 
meant Hiawatha to be as much for 
children as for big people, but 
sometimes children don’t understand, 
all that he wrote. This book is 
made so you can read it from begin¬ 
ning to end and understand all a- 
bout the beautiful poem and the ve¬ 
ry interesting story. It is pub¬ 
lished by Houghton Mifflin Co., Bos- 
ton, and costs .40 cents, net. 


Nest comes a dear little book 
called CAPTAIN JUNE. It isa lit¬ 
tle boy’s book, but I tell you, lit¬ 
tle girls like it too. It - is full 
of fun and full of adventure, be¬ 
cause June was a hero and he went 
to Japan, and lots of wonderful 
things happened to him. It ought 
to be a good book because it was 
written by Alice Hegan Rice, and 
she is the lady who wrote that fun¬ 
ny lovely bock called "Mrs. tfiggs 
of the Cabbage Patch”. I think you 
ought to have this book. The Cen¬ 
tury Co., New Tork, makes it, and 
it costs $1.00. 



QI£> foSfc 

ftll<£ MV NICE OLdBOOK BECAUSE 
" HE HAS SUCH GREAT, BIG, OPEN JAWS 
BUT HE WONT GROWL,BITE OR SNAP* 



HE ONLY WANTS TO TAKE A NAP. 

PERHAPS HE BETTER GO TO BJ^pEEZrp. 
L1KE ANY OTHER " SLEEPY HEAD. 
so i’ll JUST PUT HIM ON THE SHELF 
AND THEN ILL Go TO BED MYSELF

r=><>I want to say that I am sure that you 
are a BRAVE lad, — you’re BRAVE because you are a BOY, — 
but I want you to ask yourself if you are brave in ALL 
ways. BRAVERY doesn’t moan that you aren’t afraid of a 
bigger fellow than you are, or that you can stand a lot of 
PAIN like a soldier, without flinching, or that you BARE to 
do dangerous stunts when someone is looking on, ready to 
praise you for doing them. These things are £ood and help 
make you a MAN, but they are what I call PLAIN-IN-SIGHT 
Bravery. What I want you to get at is called OUT-OP-SIGHT 
Bravery. Only your HEART sees this kind. For instance,— 
it’s hrave to tell the TRUTH whon by LYING you might es¬ 
cape a punishment or have things go a little easier. • • . 

Why? Because, when you tell the TRUTH (without leaving a 
thing out) you WIN A BI G FIGHT .It’s great to win a FIGHT! 

You have ’’done up” an ENEMY by the name of FALSEHOOD, and 
you have come out on top (you know how good that feels) so 
the next thing is to take your punishment like the MAN you 
proved yourself to be when you "did up” FALSEHOOD. Every 
time you LIE, the ENEMY leaves a HOLE in your character; 
many lies leave man y holes , and before you know what’s go¬ 
ing on there’s nothing left of you but holes.Then what are 
you good for? Can you HOLD YOUR OWN IN ANY BRAVE FIGHT? 

THINK IT OVER, my dear Boy. 












































c 


TRUTH TELLING is a fine HABIT to get because no¬ 
body can get the best of TRUTH. Truth Is smart and strong 
and steady. . . I once saw a picture of a Boy, called 
"YOUTH and TRUTH*. The Boy was beautiful to look at,- his 
eyes were clear and pure and looked right at a fello^, with 
out a blink or a wink. The Boy had on a suit of Armor as 
bright as blue silver all polished in the sun. He ha<ji a 
long SWORD at his side, which was marked "BRAVERY"; on hi3 
left arm hung, ready, a SHIELD that bore the words "Right 
is MIGHT—then FIGHT”. On the Boy's head , (which was held 
UP steadily and FEARLESSLY) there was a HELMET upon which I 
saw the word "WISDOM”, written in golden letters* Dear 
Friend, it was a splendid picture. I hope you can see it 
from my simple words. 

I will not say much more about BRAVERY, except to 
write a couple of sayings I'd like to tell you, — like 
these: "It's BRAVE to wait PATIENTLY when it's easy to 
FRET." - - "It's BRAVE to be SILENT when talking would be 
more FUN." - - "It’s BRAVE to ENDURE until your heart says 
it is time to FIGHT.” — And last of all: "It's BRAVE to do 
LITTLE things for others and yourself until you are BIG 
enough to do big things

__ _ next to BRAVERY — TRUTH'BRAVERY, ~ 

OUT-OF-SIGHT BRAVERY, — I think OBEDIENCE 
comes. It's hard to put the GOOD PARTS of a 
Boy's CHARACTER in a row and label them No. 1. 
2, 3, because those PARTS must change places 
now and then, but if we do put TAGS on your 
GOOD SPOTS, I think I would say OBEDIENCE ought] 
to. come next to TRUTH.

_ : : ■ 

YOU are YOUNG now, dear Lad, so of course you have lots 
to loam, and you can bo proud of* that, too* You are 
like a fine young PINE TREE, who finds out that it is 
best to grow up carefully , a little at a time, and in 
the right way. All around you are BIG TREES. These big 
Trees stop the fierce winds from twisting and slappi 
you arid bending you crooked. They say, "Here’s a YOUNG¬ 
STER TREE that will be a'BIG FELLOW some day. Let’s 
have an eye on him for awhile. So they let the sun in 
on you at the right time of day, and keep the earth 
moist about your young tender roots. They take the 
whacks and slaps that "North Wind"' aims at you; they 
spread their boughs (aims) to protect you; they even 
tell Mr. Squirrel and Mr. Woodpecker to "Keep off that 
Boy, — you can pick and scratch US"# They arrange that 
Mr• Grow and all the other birds shall do their nest- 
buiiding in THEM, to save YOU TROUBLE and BURDEN, just 
because you are a YOUNG TREE still. 


THE BIG TREES ARE YOUR PARENTS or FRIENDS, whose only plan and hope 
is to make it easy for you to grow up STRAIGHT and TALL and STRONG. 
I can’t imagine a young TREE being foolish enough to pull itself 
up by its roots with a WHOOP and a KICK, saying as he did it "I. 
can take care of myself...^ know what’s better for ME than the BIG 
CHAPS.. .Whtch ME get out of the tall timbers...^ can STAND alone on 
the bare MOUNTAIN TOP." No, I think it is better for you and to 
MIND THE BIG ONES without saying "Why" too often, for they are 
mighty busy looking out for US YOUNGSTERS.Don’t You thiSclsb?, 



Why, Son, I think it is a rather good STUNT to OBEY ju3t for 
the FUN OF IT. You never know how things are going to end. 
It’s like reading a GOOD STORY that turns out RIGHT in the 
end, — no matter what a hard time the Hero had while the 
story was going on. But the most important thing about 
OBEYING is—if you obey NOW you will know how to LEAD and 
COMMAND when your turn comes . Your turn will come, — you 
can be sure of that,—but it will not come if you don’t 
learn to obey when you have a chance to learn how.. .That 
CHANCE is NOW. I like to obey and I’m OLD, but I like to 
just the same for it gives me time to think over what the 4 
OTHER FELLOW thinks is IMPORTANT.

0, God, I want to he a KNIGHT, 

With armor bright and lance at rest. 
I want to go into the FIGHT 
And DO MY LEVEL BEST. 

But Knights aro gone. Perhaps 1 can 
Just "make believe’’, and I can try 
To be a GALLANT GENTLEMAN, 

And bravely DO, or DIE. 

I know that kind of KNIGHT is best, 
For times are changed and different. 
But I can go upon a QUEST, 

Just as the others went 
And Mother, she will watch and see 
How I do battle for the RIGHT. 
Then she’ll be very proud of me,— 
Her GENTLEMAN and KNIGHT. 

AMEN. 














































E7IL THOUGHTS. 

Pear God, not oven Mother could 
See all the Bril Thoughts that would 
Keep stealing in my Heart today. 

When I seemed only Just at play. 

But 0, these Bril Thoughts crept in 
Lilce serpents, telling me to sin. 
Those Bril Thoughts all loft a track 
Across my HBAHT that made it BLACK. 

I am ashamed to look and see 
If Mother knows the Thoughts in me. 

I cannot watch her dear eyes shine 
For Fear she* 11 see the sin in mine. 
0, make my Thoughts all GOOD and PURE' 
For then I may be very sure 
That I have clear and honest eyes 
Where not one Thought of Evil lies.

Dear God, I'm sulky now and then; 

It’s hard to tell what makes me so. 
Those sulks get right inside me when 
I'm cross or selfish, - then the y grow. 
I Just can feel them giving me 
A gloomy face and sullen pout. 

So You, or anyone, must be 
Uncomfortable when I'm about. 

Dear G6d, I'm siu*e you know a way 
To stop the SULKS, beoause they're bad. 
Please close my heart to them, for they 
Make mo Just miserable and sad. 








Please change the look upon my face; 
FIGHTING. ^£>^3^50^^ Please teach me that a simple SMILE 
0 God, I had a FIGHT today;* Will cure the SULKS, and in their place 
In rage I punched and hit.| Put GOOD loo ks in a little while. 

I didn't care in any way, [ All E N 

I even scratched and BIT. 

I snarled Just like a savage BEAST, 1 
I bunted without heeding. 

I didn't seem to care the least 
That I was soiled and bleeding.

t WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS 

about A book or two so that you 

WILL KNOW THE NAMES OF TWO GOOD 
C R.IENBS OF CHILDREN - f/£A£ THBY AR£> 


In my Letter, I 
3poke about THE JEST SO 
STORIES, by Mr. Kip¬ 
ling. I would like 
you to have that 
blessed book; 
there never was 
one like it and 
there never will 
be. That * s the 
reason why Bet¬ 
ty W- tried so 

hard to write a story 
like a "JUst So Story”. 


She loved the book so that she almost knew it by heart ; 
and will you.when you get it. The book costs 
$1*55 net, and Doubleday Page & Co., Hew York, 
make it* 

As we have been telling 
bear stories , you must read 
THE BIOGRAPHY OF A GRI2- 
ELY some time. It*s 
fine, of course, for 
it is by Mr. Thomp¬ 
son-Set on. The Cen- 


tury Co.,. Hew York, 

make the book, and it 
costs $1*50 .

of my shoes \-l am so excited /fiat / cant /zoic/ 
fny~ pen ; t sfiall fz cute to finish your letter on 
my typewriter, IT incdles a noise just titCa my 

teetfi when they chatter 50 I knew that something 

must be done right away, for if I could not get away from these hard¬ 
hearted animals, there was no telling what would happen to ME. Lion 
was so rough and lumpy, Hr. Gryphon was so fierce and grumpy, and Ros- 
marine was so full of stickers and prickers that of course a little boy 
should be terribly afraid. As I said, my running was faster and faster. 
Suddenly I heard a loud fat grunty-grunt. The grunt came out of a fat 
PIG of a pig. There across my path he ran, right in front of me. Of 

course I tumbled over him.. It was a hard and a fast tumble. I sprawled 

hands and feet and knees and NOSE right into a tulip bed. In falling, I 

pulled up a red tulip in my right hand, and a yellow tulip in my left 

hand. I hurried to get on my feet, and there stood all those fierce 
animals around me. Everybody howling and growling and grunting at once, 
^ Everybody making some plan to ATTEND TO ME. Just behind me, out of 
the comer of my eye I could see the wavy green jungle. I knew 
-that the little CHINA DOG was there; I knew that if I could 
>t into that jungle I would BE SAFE* But I could not 
break ^throxigh so many stony-hearted animals, all of them 

with flying around like electric fans and 

their arm 5 7T/1^\moving up and down like pump-handles . So I 



just sat 
knees bumped 
felt my hair \ 

I listened very haVd 
I WISHED that something 
those animals. - Just at 
somebody say from the j 
the tulips. Hit them on 
lips are MAGIC, — whack 


and my teeth chattered and my 
together. • I was very scared. 1 

standing straight up on tip-toe. 
and I HOPED very hard, and 
would happen to all 
that moment, I heard 
"Fight them with 
noses. Tu- 
their 




















\ 


r sLBa g Mg grrwga 



noses. Make believe that you are a brave Knight 
and GO FOR those animals just hard and fast and 
bravely". SO I DID. I just closed my teeth 
hard, and I stamped my feet; I rumpled my hair 
up higher, and I WENT FOR those animals BRAVELY. 

I whacked Mr* Lion on his nose, and Mr* Gryphon 
on his nose, and Mr. Rosmarine I gave a fierce 
tap on the nose and on the edge of his prickly 
whiskers. And what do you think? Those fierce 
animals got to be juat as tame as any lamb or 
any pussy cat you ever saw. Lion purred all 

around my legs; Old Pig grunted musically; Rosmarine made a sound like 
the gentle ocean sea, (I can't tell exactly what that sound was but it 
WAS an ocean sea); Gryphon tucked his wings under his tail, folded his 
arms and smiled, and everybody said, "How do you do. Sir, it is a pleas¬ 
ant day". I said, "Thank you very much. I am much obliged to you." So 
I turned around and walked towards the jungle and all of the animals 
followed behind. Pig came first, because he had a forceful way about 
him, — he always tried to be first. We got into the jungle and there, 
seated on a little stone chair was the CHINA LOG* I walked up to him 
and I touched him on the nose, and he said, "Thank you", and he got 
alive. "Now", said ho, "I want to tell you that these stone animals 
were once nice kind people, but they were bewitched by Mr. Pig here, who 
went around doing damage to everybody. Mr. Gryphon was once a nice Gro¬ 
cery-man; Mr. Gargoyle was once a very pleasant Vegetable-man; Mr. Ros¬ 
marine was once an obliging Hatter. In fact, everybody was once very 
soft-hearted before Mr. Pig came snooping about this garden. He did a 
Magic and one day he grunted so fiercely and magic-ly that we all turned 
into stone, we were so scared and disgusted. So now, little Boy, if you 
will give all our tails three gentle turns to the North East, and one 
and a half pleasant pulls to the South West, we will all be much obliged 
and will TURN INTO OURSELVES AGAIN." I did this, and sure enough, there 
were all those nice people the little dog told me about. As for Mr. Pig, 
he swore an oath-some oath that he would go back to his pen and never 
come out again. He went. So the Grocery-man and the Hatter and the 
Vegetable-man and little CHINA DOG and all of us had a good time in the 
jungle. The Gorcery-man gave me a locomotive that I could wind up and 
it went, and the Hatter gave me a hat th at was worn in the Revolutionary 

"a Cocked hat". They

sister's pet fountain. My sister didn't like this, but when she saw 
what a good time we were having, she just turned right around and went 
in her house. Then the sun set, and everybody was happy. I said "Good 
bye" to CHINA DOG, and that is all that happened.* 0, I forgot to say 
that my sister had to buy a lot of pitchers and urns and stone baskets 
to put in the places where the stone animals had been. CHINA DOG IS 
ALIVE ALL THE TIME NOW. 

I send my love and I wish that you would come some time and 
fplay in the Magic Garden. The next day after this all happened I had to 
go back again and get to work, so I turned back again to OLD JOHN MARTIN 
but whenever I want to have fun, I just THINK and WISH that MAGIC way 
and I am a little boy again. It isn't hard to do.

j of the Wild ThinqS.ffiQ 


Dear God of Forest, Field and Sky: 

we want to live in the places You 
made. We want to sing, and build, 
and play, and take care of our Ba¬ 
bies. We want to grow up to be what 
You intended U 3 to be. In our little) 
wild way, we want to learn all the 
Lessons of LIFE, for You made us be¬ 
cause You wanted us to learn them. 

So, Dear God, show us where to find 
our daily food. Let us be happy In 
sun and shade, in water and in mead¬ 
ow. Let us see into the hearts of 
KEN and find LOVE there, instead of 
a wish to KILL. Give us a chance to 
show Kan that we know he is made in 
Your likeness, and so he must be GOOD. 
Next to our GOD of the WOOD, we want 
to love and serve MAN. And last — 

Let us die when it is Your will.

These TV/0 MEN had their picture ta¬ 
ken SITTING ON A DEAD ANIMAL. They 
think they are BRAVE and handsome. 
The Animal tried to save its OWN 
|LIFE, so the "Great Hunters" called 
it "dangerous". From a Safe dis¬ 
tance they shot the Animal and then 
went and. sat down on it-. Do. you 
|think it is a nice picture? 

I put masks on the Men f s .faces 
for I do not want you to guess who 
s SITTING on that DEAD ANIMAL. 5

A rhyme-rhyme story always goes 
Much nicer than old prosy-prose 




We'd just had tea and bread and butters 
When 0, we heard a flutter-flutter* 
tJ'lfV&s the noise of WINGS 'round there 
That flapped and flapped up’in the air. 

For lots of GULLS had come to see 
How King and I could drink our tea. 

We were surprised and shy, of course. 

But not the least bit mad or CROSS. 
Besides, we saw the SEA GULL KING, 

Which made us glad a3 anythij 
And then we CHUBB IES alwayF 
That FUN was near, when SEA GULLS FLEW. 

And so it was , for, right away. 

We heard the KING OF SEA GULLS say, - 
"Come, come, my Friends, it's time^to fly. 
So let’s get busy, smart and spry, 

I want you all to ge with me

But Fairy Folk are shy , they say ,j^^-., r ^ 
And so are apt to run away. 

But they were FAIRIES, I declare, 

Because I saw their foot prints there. 

But FIREFLIES just love a RACE, 

And CHUBBIES always like to chase. 

You should have seen us Chubbies run

And scamper, — 0, what lots of FUN! 

The Fireflies would light a light 
To help us Chubs to chase them right*

Then all take hands and make a ring 
And run around like anything.

This be-havior, strange and queer. 

Made King WINKIE interfere. 

Naughty JOKES like that are BAD, 

And they made him rather MAD, 

So he shouted, stern and loud; 

And he LOOKED severe and PROUD. 
"Bumptious Birds, come forth", said he, 
"NAB Old HOX just in-stant-ly. 

He shall never, never try 
To scare a single Firefly." 

Then King Winkie waved his hand 
So we all should understand. 

OUT came Bumptious Birds, quite glad 
To NAB Old ROX so sly and bad.

Chubbies want to play with you;

Please come play, we won't be rough.

So it’s time to LIGHT YOUR LAMP. 

HO—TA—RU, HO—TA—RU,

They chase him here and hump him there 
And give him quite an awful SCARE* * 
Then, after that, they take Old ROX 
And stuff him in his CRACKER BOX. 

(0, he deserved it, every hit. 

For having such a NAUGHTY FIT. ) 

So then we all start in again 
To dance and sing with might and main. 
Chuhhies, Gulls, and Fireflies 
Are happy, and each Fairy tries 
To show us all a Thing or two 
That Fairy Children always DO. 

Then the pretty Fireflies 

Yawn out loud, and hiink their eyes.

tJuRBABY b'6ok. This is every beautiful book. In it you keep the 
story of all the things that happen to Baby; about what Baby says. 

Land Baby’s first photograph, and al3 such things. Besides this, it 
nas lovely songs and verses in it, so that little girls and mothers 
will have not only the history of little baby brother or sister, but 
they will also have very pretty ''stories and rhymes mixed up with Ba¬ 
by’s doings. There are beautiful pictures made by Fanny Y. Cory, and 
lit is published by the Bobbs-llerrill Co., Indianapolis. (Isn’t Bobba 
la nice funny name? They ought to make nice funny books. They do.) / 


BEAR’S NONSENSE BOOK. Li; 
tie, Brown & Co., Boston 


The Book costs £2.00. I <ji 

don’t see how any little/W 
boy or girl — or big 
boy or girl, — can get K 
along without it. It is 
nonsense, I know, but it 
takes away pains and aches * 
when you have them in your 
heart, and makes you forget 
outside pains. You SMILE f 
all the time you read it, N 
and don’t know exactly why.I 
Those are the best kind of ’ 
SMILES, because they grow 
up from the inside of us to 
the outside of us. 


THE STORY OF LIVE BOLLS. This is jus 
the book for little Girls who love 
Bolls, because every little Girl 1^ 
know makes believe that her Bolls 
are alivQ* Well, in this Book every 
kind of Bolly gets alive, and such 
adventures they do have! They dance 
and have picnics, and run, and play 
"hide and seek". Yes, they do every 
thing that LIVE BOLLS should do. 

This book is FULL OF FUN. It has 
lots of pictures. IT’S BIG. It is 


Into Child Life, and you know, too, how full of '—r’ 

Fairy Fancy her mind and heart are. There seems 
to be no end to the pretty sights she sees and 
E. When she tells a story, your heart is merry and bubbles 
happiness. She has a "magic**, too. You laugh because you 
> it (and you don’t want to help it). 0, these little books 
ne, and Fairy Pranks, and Lovely Nonsense. Mr. Harrison Ca 
ped make the Books, with his really truly Fairy Pictures, 
y which 3ook to get; you must decide. I have them all and 
to have them too. They cost only 60 cents

very stiff and politely, Jerry the cat said "M-e-o-w, 
y-e-o-w!" and then hurried up a tree with a big tail, and 
his- voice rumbled and his eyes were round and scratchy- 
looking. As for Dommick, he drew himself up with 
great pride and scratched around in a circle with 
his left wing stiff and scraping the ground. Dom¬ 
mick started a crow, but left the "doodle-doo n 
off the end of it, for he suddenly decided 
that I looked queer. He rushed away flop- 
pishly and told thd hens behind the barn all 
about me, with an air of great bravery and impo 
ance, and the hens believed what he said. Then John 




Martin got rather’ familiar and jumped up and down and 
wave d his hat.. (Barbara was on my back all this tig& 

I forgot to tell you.) John shouted, "Come, 

Children, let’s chase them.” I snorted with 
joy and kicked up my new paws, and away I 
galloped, with Barbara clinging to my long 
wavy mane. Over the gate I jumped, light as 
a feather, and cantered through the barnyard, 
scaring the chickens ’most to death. I 
climbed up the roof of the bam to the weather^ 
vane and Barbara made the old "Gold Rooster" spin like a top. Neigh¬ 
bors were flocking from far and near to see a Horse on the top of a 
Bam. It was very exciting! All the time I kept up the new. sounds I 
had learned to make, for it was fun to try. We soon got enough of the 
'barn-top. So I scampered down, digging my new claws into the shingles. 
We were almost caught by the crowd as I galloped around the comer 
where the hay-rick stands. Such shouting, laughing, and clapping of 
hands! Away v/e galloped to the apple orchard, and scratch, claw , right 
up to the very top of an apple tree. I munched apples up there, and 

Barbara stuffed a dozen or so in her apron, f 
But the folks were after us, so away we 
went again, around the ice-house and through 
the vegetable garden. Very slyly anci, soft¬ 
ly we went into Barbara’s house and up into 
the'garret; there I tried to catch a mouse, 
but I was too big to get behind the tirunks.

arbara dressed up in a blue satin gown and 
put a gold crown on her head. That made her a 
QUEEN. Then we heard the children and John Martin 
pounding up the stairs, so out of the garret window we~ 
ied, down the roof to the water-pipe, then a long jump and a 
deep jump, and off we galloped over meadows and bridges, through 
clover fields and sweet woods’, along brown dusty roads and narrow greei 
lanes, up hill and down, faster and faster . The wind went by on both- 
sides of us. Barbara’s shining hair floated out behind her like sum- 
light running in a stream. We galloped on to the Land of the Sky, anc 

there we stopped, for we came to the Blue Wall, and-0! — strange, 

strange!— my "magic" all fell away from me, and I was just a Horse

WOULD YOU like to have your head dragged hack

Ikeeps hurting. non It. tires my head and neck. OO It 
[does not make us better looking, it makes us awkward, 
[stiff, hobby-horses. It hardens my mouth so I can’t 
|toll which way to go when you try to steer me by the 
[reins.3^ Some MEN think it keeps me from STUMBLING-

from which all the weight should drag. o It causes me pain and 
makes it hard for me to breathe. It frets me and gives me a 
bad temper and shortens my life. Q That’s ALL, and it’s enough.

Over in the meadow. 

In the sand, in the sun, 
Lived an old mother-toad 
And her little toadie-one. 
"Winkf" said the mother; 

M I wink,"- said the one: 

So he winked and she blinke 
In the sand, in the sun. 

Over in the meadow. 

Where the stream runs blue. 
Lived an old mother-fish 
And her little fishes two. 
"Swiml" said the mother; 

••We swim," said the two: 

[So they swam and they leaped 
Where the stream runs blue. 





Over in the meadow. 

In a hole in a tree. 

Lived a mother-blue-bird 

And her little birdies three. 
"Singl" said the mother; 

"We' sing," said the three: 

So they sang and were glad. 

In the hole in v the treev

Over in the meadow. 

In the reeds on the shore. 
Lived a mother-muskrat 
And her little ratties four. 
"Dive!" said the mother; 

"We dive," said the four: 

So they dived and they burrowed 1 
In the reeds on the shore.

^ —xv., i J- j _ 

Years Old 

Ever since I have been writ-r 

tn _"i— _1 rm. * _ _ _ 3 _ j _ ^ 


about It. The HEWS is handed on from one to another, and I have har^J 
work keeping folks GOOD natured. Everybody seems to be jealous of 
everybody else. For instance,—Rubber the Dog goes strutting about 
with his tail stuck up stiff in the air. For days and DATS after he 
wrote that Letter to you, he was too "cocky" for words, and his 
HAUGHTY manner brought about another FIGHT with "Bottles" (my Dog). 
"Bottles" just couldn’t stand the way he tip-toed around him with 
^tail and bristles up. So old "Bottles" tip-toed too, and scratched 
a lot of dust in "Rubber’s" proud face. Then that fight began, and 
I can tell you it was a dusty one, — the dust they made was as big 
as a hay stack. I got into the middle of the dust and SAT Oil MAS¬ 
TER Bottles, and I heard him say, "Wowh! if that "Rubber" dog doesn’t^ 
quit bein’ so stuck up — I’ll — I’ll — " "Hush! Mister Bottler", 

I said, "Control yourself-you are a very wobbly seat." "Woof, 

wooff" said HE. "I’ll chew HIM into RUBBER BARDS if he doesn’t quit" 
"01 Of Bottles! shane on you!" Then Bottles wobbled some more. 

So you see. Dear Boy, —that’s the way things are going on 
since I began to write to you. Old Robin Hood is the only real 
quiet person, but that is because he can’t write a very good hand¬ 
writing. He didn’t learn in Lincoln Forest, when he was young, — he 
was too busy robbing people, (but he has REFORMED) and when he-learns 
to write he will send you a good letter. 

When the folks that want to write to you get too PRESSING, I 
find that It is a good plan to let some one write to you that comes 
along un-ex-pect-ed-ly, then they ALL pounce on the HEW person and 
leave me alone. The HEW person is always so PROUD that he can stand 
more POUNCING than I can. That’s how you happen to be getting a let¬ 
ter from TOMMY TUCK. He came along when folks were pouncing like ev¬ 
erything, so I said he could write to you, and he POUNCED back. I 
know Tommy spells very badly and I know, too, that his English Gram¬ 
mar is a little mussy, but he is all right, and I just like that boy. 
Besides, he has nice, BIG, plain-to-see FRECKLES on his HOSE, and 
* COW-LICKS all over his rather red-haired head. But I like that too.

JRECThis Spelling and Grammar. (He won’t mind*) 
yC&Y But -— you must not make FU1T of Tommy, for after all he is 
JUST A BOY, and I do respect real true BOYS. They make my heart feel 
comfortable and proud, and they help me to REMEMBER what I was ONCE. 

(J[ had fat FRECKLES, too.) I try to keep my heart as much like a Boy f s 
as possible, for then I am sure to be a sort o’ DECEET KAH. That’s so, 
isn’t it, Little Brother? • Tommy will try to tell the truth in his Let¬

him. . That’s all will say. Tommy can go on with your Letter in

a little girl’s house •, the party happened 
tn the big bla^ room . Two Polls got 
up that party . The name of the oldest 
Poll was Mary Blue, the name of the. 
other one was Sallte Bu.itlU . Mary is 
cl proud doll, her nose turns up uv the 
air a lot-, Sallies nose doesn't turn up 
- it cant ’cause Some erf/got bumped off 
one day and the piece was swept up 
and but into the waste basket, Sallte 
tries to leoR proud, but I think she 
looks funny she’s cross-eyed too.^ 

... I wanted to go to —————— 

the Polls' party So

Proud iyVacy aimed 
her nose up high, 
and said “ No, Sic,

dFe Viol' inv ited to our party- So go to bed. 
Sic Fed™. Wq are going to have fun, you

Said HURT MY FEELINGS - [I have lots of 
feelings, from iny little brown NOSE ,to

Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie, 

There*3 nothing to frighten you under the sea. 

The fish are all sleepy, the waves are all still; 
For every one watches and listens until 
My wee Baby Mennaid is soundly asleep. 

Where blue and green billows are pillows so deep, 
The setting sun shimmers and twinkles and gleams 
Across the dear rockabye Ocean of Dreams* 

So Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie, 

There f s nothing to frighten you under the sea*)

Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie, 

There 1 s nothing but joy for you over the sea. 

So rock in your cradle far out on a stream 
That drifts Mother f s Baby straight into a dreanu 
Far out on the billows, all bubbles and spray. 
Are thousands and thousands of babies at play. 
The place where they frolic is golden and blue; 
The Rockabye Children are waiting for you* 

So Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie,

Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie, 

Let f s fall fast asleep on the Lullaby Sea. 

Your Mother is watching, your Mother will keep 
Her heart busy loving, while Baby*s asleep. 

So drift far away on the ocean of dreams, N O 
But when the "Good morning 11 Sun shimmers and beams 
And spreads out his Blessing all over the sea. 

Come back, 0 come back, little darling, to me. 
rr\ So Rockabye, Rockabye, Mermi-ma-mie, j— y 

^we've gone fast asleep on the Lullaby Sea.
